The following prerequisites apply to all migrations:
-
ISO/CDROM disks must be unmounted.
-
Each NIC must contain one IPv4 and/or one IPv6 address.
-
The VM operating system must be certified and supported for use as a guest operating system with {virt}.
-
VM names must contain only lowercase letters (
a-z), numbers (0-9), or hyphens (-), up to a maximum of 253 characters. The first and last characters must be alphanumeric. The name must not contain uppercase letters, spaces, periods (.), or special characters. -
VM names must not duplicate the name of a VM in the {virt} environment.
Note{project-full} automatically assigns a new name to a VM that does not comply with the rules.
{project-full} makes the following changes when it automatically generates a new VM name:
-
Excluded characters are removed.
-
Uppercase letters are switched to lowercase letters.
-
Any underscore (
_) is changed to a dash (-).
This feature allows a migration to proceed smoothly even if someone entered a VM name that does not follow the rules.
